"I dought it, but ok." He said with a confident smile and a shrug

Nathalie cleared the security sensor and pulled into the Agreste drive. She unbuckled, got out, and was quickly over by Gabriel's side. "Do you need any help walking?" she asked, eyeing him to see if he was lying.

He shook his head, "No, no I'm fine," he stood, slightly swaying but seeming fine to walk

Nevertheless, Nathalie put her arm under his shoulders and assisted him. "If I promise not to lie to you, please promise that you won't lie to me," she muttered.

He smiled "I'm not lying, i can walk" he accepted her help anyways

"Can you walk without struggling?" she retorted.

" yes…i think." he said trying to stand without her help

Nathalie took a step back to skeptically watch him.

He walked a few steps then stubbled catching himself on the railing "ok maybe not"

She quickly looped her arm around him and helped him stand upright. She opened the doors and guided him into the study and to his desk.

"thank you" he murmured "you need to rest too, take the night off, or at least until Adrien gets back."

She checked the time. "Adrien will need to be picked up in approximately one hour. Is there anything that you need me to do in the meantime, si–" She gritted her teeth. "Gabriel."

He looked at her for a moment longer and shook his head "rest love," he said simply

"I don't need any rest, Gabriel, I'm fine," she insisted. "Is there anything you need me to do? Anything in advance for tomorrow?"

He shook his head once more "no, no everything is fine for tomorrow…..shoot we have a gala or something don't we?"

"Yes, the Bourgeois party. If you would no longer like to attend, I can call Mrs. Bourgeois and alert her of the change."

"I think its best that I call, she still might be bitter about last time you two ran into each other, and she probably saw the news, so it won't help her disposition towards you." he smiled, and grabbed the phone

Nathalie tensed and nodded. "Is there anything that you'd like me to do?"

He shook his head "no, not at the moment"

"Are you sure you don't want me to call? You might not be on the best terms with her at the moment either."

"it's fine, what's the worst she can do, fire me?" He rolled his eyes a d smiled

Nathalie smiled a little and reached in her pocket. Her smile quickly died. "Dimitri still has my phone," she said softly.

"no he doesn't." he reached into his back pocket and pulled her phone out, giving it to her "sorry, forgot it was there."

Nathalie took it gratefully. "Thank you si– Gabriel." She was going to call Audrey herself, taking as much pressure away from Gabriel as she could.

he nodded "He's not going to hurt you. not now, or ever." he reassured her
